    I would like to know if anyone could help me out by giving me measurements of the Pocher Alfa frame. I am attempting to draw one in 3D in Sketchup, but all I have to go by is a Bburago Monza. It says it is 1/18th, but they are actually 1/16th scale. I need measurements for the frame rails, cross members, etc. I am guessing right now that the frame rails are about 4" tall and the u channel is 2" deep, but the rest of it is guess work. . .

    I do not have a Pocher, I would simply like to draw an Alfa in Sketchup. . .

    Eddie - I can get you those measuresments when I get in my shop on Friday.

    Thank you Andy! There is absolutely no hurry. I'd just like to know if I am in the ball park with what I am using now. . .

    I think I have the 1:1 specs and measures from the Alfa factory original drawings somewhere. I'll dig those up too.

    Here is what I have so far. The front cross member is not right, and I spent all morning making jack stands to sit the frame on. . .

    Early on a big attraction for me with the 3D modeling stuff was the resulting visual.......there is this rush that comes when you render that wire-frame...........and even though what you are after is the frame, those jackstands......well, you just gotta have em.........

    Really nice..............
